Barcelona defender Eric Garcia was interviewed by local media Jijantes, talking about his contract renewal topic and also talking about head coach Flick.

Where do you want to renew your contract with Barcelona

"Of course I hope so. If everything goes well, we can sit down and have a good talk now. The transfer market in the past summer window was very lively."

Talking about Barcelona's start this season

"To be honest, we started worse last year and Monaco poured three of us in the Gambel Cup. This year, because our opponents know us better and know how we play, it is a big challenge for us, but we are also growing. We are a very young team and are constantly improving. Although there are still many places to improve, it can be said that Barcelona's competitive level is already very high. Although we finally drew at Vallecano, it is a very difficult venue to play. The first three games were away games, and we certainly wanted to win all, but that doesn't matter."

When will we return to the Camp Nou Stadium

"After all, we can play the game we should play. It's great to be able to play football at the door of our house. The Gambel Cup is here, the atmosphere is great, so there's no problem wherever we play. Obviously, everyone wants to play football at the Camp Nou. Seeing the stadium now and the future looks really exciting."

About the departure of partner Inigo Martinez

"We will miss him regardless of the court. He gave Barcelona the experience that they lack. Martinez performed very well last season. But in the world of football, separation always happens, and there will be important players leaving for various reasons, and we must continue to move forward. Now it's our turn to stand up. Although we are young, we are ready. This is what we must do and the responsibility we must bear to play for Barcelona."
